Low Key Lighting SetUp

Positions and Composition

I like the look of this 'crab' position the model is in, I think it would be effective to use this in my images so the models head was almost floor level with the bears head.

More Possible Props

Props

This is an option to be used as my main prop in the photograph. I think it would photograph really well.

As a prop and a main feature I want to use taxidermy in my image. I don't particularly like the lighting or composition in this image but I have used it to show the effect of an 'animal'.

My Model

I have decided to use Stacey mainly for her hair, as is it so short it will be easy and effective to ruffle it up and make it look quite animalistic and raw.

I think the pose and the character of this image is lovely, It very much shows the personality of the model, which is something I would like to portray in my Photographs.

Robert Mapplethorpe

Love the Lighting Mapplethorpe uses, very low key and atmospheric.
